Brazil waiting on the final Carlo Ancelotti decision from Real Madrid.
According to reports, Brazil will have to wait until the end of the season before Real Madrid makes a decisive choice about the future of manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The South American behemoths have made no secret of their intention to bring Ancelotti on board, and the Brazilian Football Federation’s (CBF) head recently reiterated his willingness to do so.
Ancelotti has continually batted down the rumours, saying most recently that he would be content to remain with Real for the rest of his career.
Brazil is adamant about getting Ancelotti, but they won’t know for sure if he will be available to hire until the end of the current campaign.
Ancelotti’s future at Real has not yet been officially decided, according to sources, and the club is eager to consider everything, including his performances in La Liga and the Champions League, before making a final choice.
Even though the team’s performance in La Liga this season has fallen short of expectations, club president Florentino Perez is known to be a huge supporter of Ancelotti and does not want to part ways with the Italian.

Real are 12 points behind the pace set by Barcelona, and Xavi’s team has won three of the four Clasicos this season.
A decision on Ancelotti’s future will be made at the end of the season once the club’s Champions League campaign comes to a close. A departure from the Santiago Bernabeu is by no means likely but has also not been officially ruled out either.
It is rumoured that Ancelotti himself has been keeping an eye on the Canada national team position as he considers retiring in the country of Mariann Barrena McClay, a native of Vancouver. It is unclear, however, if Ancelotti would be interested in moving to another country.
Brazil will continue to chase Ancelotti and CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues recently confirmed that the Selecao hope to be able to announce their new boss in May.
“We have the patience to wait for the right time for us to have these conversations,” he said.
“Nothing is defined enough yet to say the name [of the next coach] with certainty, but it is along those lines. We need a coach who has the admiration of the players.”
